Excerpt from Dream Children And set him in the midst of them, and never, since then, has He improved upon this method of teaching men and women the spirit of the Kingdom of Heaven. The harsher ambitions of maturity have no place in the presence Of a baby; the sweet dreams of youth, the untarnished, love-lit dreams come back with the coming of the baby; and sweeter dreams yet, inspired by Love more intense than any known or felt before, - these, too, come with the coming of the baby, the wonderful little bundle of potential ities of whom, it seems, nothing is impossible. Not a contemplation of the tiny hand but leads the parent fancy far, far afield, wondering to what uses that wee hand may come, in time, what part it will play in the great world's work; not an uncovering of the tiny pink feet but suggests anxious questionings and imaginings, reaching to the outermost boundaries of time and place, in an effort to guess where these feet will tread, ere their journey's done; not a glance into baby eyes but the fond heart thinks of tears unshed and smiles unguessed that shall lurk there in the years to come, - and wonders, wistfully, which, or tears or smiles, will predominate. Not a mother kisses the lips of her baby boy or girl but projects, in fancy, the lover's kisses that will some day come thereto. Dream! And Dream! And Dream! All children are Dream Children.

Excerpt from Children's Dreams From the very dawn of history the world of dreams has occupied a position of unique interest. In the biblical record the interpreter of dreams was regarded as a man of exceptional power and ability who could penetrate the mystery of the occult and give to the world the meaning of the night-vision. Among primitive races the dream is regarded with reverence and anxiety as the message from the back of beyond of something of immense importance to the welfare of the dreamer. Hence, the extraordinary influence of those who profess to be able to unravel the symbolism of the mysterious visitation and translate it into the language of everyday life. The universality of the dream is in itself evidence of its biological significance, but in the past the scientific study of the dream has received insufficient attention.

Excerpt from Dream Life for Children A very sad face indeed had dear little Charlie this morning. Out into the great world he looked and longed; but no, there was no hope, no sun shine; and Charlie's lovely blue eyes almost filled with tears; and little gasps came un willingly from his throat; and he clutched Eliza tightly with his left hand to make sure that the housekeeper hadn't spirited her away also. Eliza was not his little sister, for Charlie had no little sister, nor little brother, and no mother, and almost no father - or so it seemed to Charlie, for his father was usually away when he was awake. So a very sad little boy he had reason to be, only that he was healthy, and bright and sunny in temperament, and was used to his lonely life; and with Tom and Eliza for company he was generally happy. But Tom was gone! And Eliza had so little to say. Now, Eliza was - yes, you've guessed it, a doll. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from A Child's Dream of a Star They used to say to one another, sometimes, Supposing all the children upon earth were to die, would the flowers and the water and the sky be sorry? They believed they would be sorry. For, said they, the buds are the children of the flowers, and the little playful streams that gambol down the hillsides are the children of the water; and the smallest bright specks playing at hide-and-seek in the sky all night must surely be the children of the stars; and they would all be grieved to see their playmates, the children of men, no more.

Oliver Gold, the brilliant, ascetic writer and philosopher, has lived quietly and happily for eight years on the outskirts of London as a lodger in 12 Wagner Rise. His sudden decision to marry and move to America precipitates a crisis in this household of women, all of whom owe fierce, idiosyncratic allegiance to Oliver and want to save him and their world from an unsuitable, inexplicable match. Yet in the end it is only Bobs, the twelve-year-old who is Oliver's constant companion, who knows his dangerous secret: it is from her that Oliver attempts to flee. In a series of dramatic tableaux, unfolding over the course of many years, A. N. Wilson threads the dark labyrinths of Wagner Rise and illuminates the tragic consequences of these attachments. With this provocative novel about forbidden love, Wilson has produced a stunning, haunting literary work-a Lolita for our times. "A respectable, genuine, intellectual portrait of a pedophile that also makes for a gripper indeed. . . . Sex-tormented Oliver . . . in spite of all (and 'all' includes plenty) remains believably human, thanks to the estimably gifted Wilson." - Kirkus Reviews (starred review) "Wicked English wit . . . has the kind of sly humor where grimness itself becomes the joke." - The New Yorker "Well written and sensitively realized. . . . [Wilson] lets the characters' fates unfold over the years and shows, touchingly, how the pain and self-deception at 12 Wagner Rise taints all their lives." - Philadelphia Inquirer
